The GMAT is used to evaluate students applying specifically to business school.

Arete’s process starts by diagnosing a student’s proficiency and preparedness. After assessing a student’s existing skill sets, we create an individualized approach and training schedule, ensuring optimal performance. We also work to quell test-related anxiety and teach strategies for navigating the computer-administered test format.
